MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th December, 2020) Russia's overall mortality increased by 9.7 percent year-on-year from January-October 2020, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said.
"As for the growth in overall mortality, for ten months of 2020 in Russia as a whole it amounted to 9.7 percent compared to the same period last year. At the same time, we very clearly see that in the absence of COVID-19, at least 19 regions of the country would not have registered an increase in mortality for 10 months, but, on the contrary, would register a significant decrease in mortality," she said during a briefing.
Russia does not conceal the mortality statistics for patients with coronavirus and publishes it regularly, Golikova added.
